The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/840,989, filed Apr. 6, 2020, which is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/199,868, filed Jun. 30, 2016, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 10,616,184, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present techniques relate generally to wireless display, and more particularly, to streaming of content via wireless display.

BACKGROUND ART

A peer-to-peer wireless connection or direct wireless connection, such as with Wi-Fi Direct®, provides for wireless coupling of devices without a wireless access point (AP) router. Further, wireless display technology, such as Miracast™, may employ Wi-Fi Direct® to stream video and audio content wirelessly from a computing device such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet, to a second device such as a monitor, television, or other computing device. In some cases, adapters may be employed on the receiver. For instance, adapters are available that plug into high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) ports or universal serial bus (USB) ports that enable non-Miracast devices to connect via Miracast™.

Miracast™ is a certification program of the Wi-Fi Alliance. Devices that are Miracast™ certified have a software implementation based on the Wi-Fi Display technical specification. The Wi-Fi Alliance maintains a current list of Miracast-certified devices. The sender and the receiver devices generally may be Miracast™ certified for the technology to function. However, as mentioned, to stream music and movies to a non-certified device, Miracast™ adapters are available that plug into HDMI or USB ports. Moreover, the technology may generally work across devices, regardless of brand. Miracast™ devices negotiate settings for each connection, which may simplify the process for the users. In the competitive business of consumer electronics and services, there exists an ongoing need for continuous improvement in implementation, reliability, affordability, and so forth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present techniques relate generally to wireless display (e.g., Miracast™, Apple AirPlay®, Google Chromecast™, etc.), and more particularly, to streaming protected content via the wireless display connection. In accordance with present examples, a wireless display standard, such as Miracast™, may provide for direct streaming by a transmitter to send video content to a receiver without the transmitter decoding and encoding the video. A specific example provides for direct streaming and content protection via wireless display services such as with Miracast™ revision two (R2) and later revisions.

Embodiments accommodate wirelessly streaming audio/video from a transmitter (e.g., a computing device) to a receiver over a wireless connection (e.g., wireless direct, peer-to-peer, Wi-Fi Direct®, etc.) and a wireless display connection (e.g., a Miracast™ connection, Apple AirPlay® connection, Google Chromecast™ connection, etc.). Some examples are applicable to various standards, such as the Miracast™ standard including revision two (R2) expected in 2017 and later revisions. However, other examples are not limited to a particular standard. Further, while the discussion herein may focus on Miracast™, the present techniques are applicable to other standards and wireless display services. For instance, some embodiments are applicable to Apple AirPlay®, Google Chromecast™, and other wireless display standards and connections. Indeed, the techniques may be applicable to wireless display service connections generally in which video, audio, data, etc. are transmitted wirelessly from a transmitter to a receiver. Moreover, while Wi-Fi Direct® generally does not require an access point (AP) router, some examples of the techniques may accommodate Wi-Fi via an AP router.

Embodiments herein further direct protected content. Indeed, in certain embodiments, the protected content may be streamed from the transmitter to the receiver via the wireless display without transmitter actions of decoding, composing, and/or encoding the video stream. Such may be useful, for example, with low-processing devices (e.g., smartphone or tablet) as the transmitter that have limited processing capability to handle decoding, composing, and encoding. A particular example handles protected content license acquisition and transcryption, e.g., from a Digital Rights Management (DRM) key to a High Definition Copy Protocol (HDCP2) key, on the transmitter side and, therefore, may avoid Miracast™ revision one (R1) style flow and enable R2 direct streaming.

In a typical protected content license acquisition and transcription using Miracast™ R1 flow, the following may be implemented: license acquisition and DRM key extraction, HDCP2 authentication, decrypt using DRM key, decode, compose with User Interface (UI), encode, and encrypt with HDCP2 key. In contrast, embodiments (including with R2) may avoid the decode, compose, and/or encode actions on the transmitter side, and implement the protected playback content with the transmitter as follows: license acquisition and DRM key extraction, HDCP2 authentication, decrypt using DRM key, and encrypt with HDCP2 key. Thus, with certain embodiments of this latter implementation, the processing of up to three work items (decode, compose, and encode) or more may be avoided by the transmitter. These work items may be relatively heavy duty. The avoidance of these work items by the transmitter may reduce processor (e.g., graphic processing unit or GPU) workload on the transmitter side, reduce latency, reduce power consumption, and/or improve performance, and so forth.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are a wireless display system 100 for streaming of content from a transmitter 102 to a receiver 104. The transmitter 102 and the receiver 104 may each be a computing device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, monitor, television, etc. In some examples, the transmitter 102 is a smaller device such as a smartphone or tablet, and the receiver 104 is a larger device such as a monitor or television. As discussed with respect to FIG. 3 below, each device may have memory and a processor. The processors of the transmitter 102 and the receiver 104 may each be one or more processors, and include more than one core. The processors may be a microprocessor, central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and so on. The memory of the transmitter 102 and the receiver 104 may each include nonvolatile and volatile memory.

An example of a wireless display services standard is the Miracast™ standard. Some variations of FIGS. 1A and 1B may be for Miracast™ R1 or other standards. The depicted actions may represent code (logic, instructions) stored in memory and executed by a processor. Of course, the actions depicted may be implemented via the indicated hardware (wires, cables, buffers, mediums, conductors, demux, mux, etc.) of the transmitter 102 and the receiver 104.

In the illustrated embodiment, a content server 106 provides content, and a license server 107 provides a license. The content may be video and/or audio. The transmitter 102 may receive the content. Again, FIGS. 1A and 1B may accommodate the Miracast™ R1 design for protected content playback. A DRM license acquisition via the license server 107 may establish the authentication between the content server 106 and the client (transmitter 102), so that with the license acquisition, the client may be capable to decrypt content by having the DRM content key (for audio and video).

A demultiplex (demux) 108 of the transmitter 102 may split the content into audio 110 and video 112. Moreover, as indicated, a key 113 (e.g., a DRM key) obtained via the license acquisition may be used by the transmitter 102 to decrypt the audio and video streams to give decrypted audio 114 and decrypted video 116. Thus, the transmitter 102 decrypts the incoming DRM bitstream.

Continuing in the transmitter 102 environment, these decrypted streams may be decoded to an audio decoded buffer 118 and video decoded buffer 120, respectively. Such consumes decoder duty cycle. Further, in the illustrated example, the audio may be encoded 122 to give an encoded bitstream 124. As for the video, the video may be composed 126 with any UI 128 and/or subtitle 130 to a composed buffer 132, and then encoded to give an encoded bitstream 134. In other words, if there is a UI content and/or subtitle, the transmitter 102 may compose the UI and/or subtitle along with the video content. This may require significant GPU time, especially for 4 k content, for instance. As for the encoding after composition, the uncompressed buffer is encoded and output as a bitstream, which again this action may be heavy duty with the GPU/encoder.

The transmitter 102 may encrypt the encoded bitstreams 124 and 134 to give HDCP2 encrypted audio content 136 and HDCP2 encrypted video content 138, respectively. This encryption may be performed via an HDCP2 key 140 obtained in the HDCP2 negotiation and authorization between the transmitter 102 and the receiver 104. The HDCP authentication may involve a key exchange between receiver 104 and transmitter 102 and, thus, at the end of the flow, the transmitter 102 having a HDCP2 key to encrypt content.

The encrypted streams may be sent to a multiplexer (mux) 142 and with the content ready for wireless display transfer to the receiver 104, as indicated by reference numeral 144. In the illustrated embodiment, the mux 142 includes a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-2 transport stream (MPEG2-TS) as a standard container format for transmission and storage of audio, video, and Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) data. Thus, the mux 142 may include a container for broadcast systems for audio, video, and data.

The receiver 104 receives the content, and divides the content via a demux 146 into an audio 148 stream and a video 150 stream, both of which may be decrypted (using the key 140) to give decrypted audio 152 and decrypted video 154. The receiver 104 may decode this decrypted content to an audio decoded buffer 156 and a video decoded buffer 158 for play and display at the receiver 104, as indicated by reference numeral 160.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are a wireless display system 200 for streaming of content from a transmitter 202 to a receiver 204. Embodiments may provide for a direct streaming mode. In order to send the media content in native encoding formats without the need of decoding and re-encoding, the audio, video, and image content provided from the media application in the source device may be sent as separate elementary streams. Features such as UI, subtitle, scaling, alpha blending, and the like, may be accommodated. Moreover, the system 200 may handle protected content.

As with the devices of FIGS. 1A and 1B, the transmitter 202 and the receiver 204 in FIGS. 2A and 2B may each be a computing device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, monitor, television, etc. In some examples, the transmitter 202 is a smaller device such as a smartphone or tablet, and the receiver 204 is a larger device such as a monitor or television. As discussed with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3 , the transmitter and receiver may each have memory and a processor. The transmitter 202 processor and the receiver 204 processor may each be one or more processors, and include more than one core. The processor may be a microprocessor, central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and so on. The transmitter 202 memory and the receiver 204 memory may each include nonvolatile and volatile memory.

As mentioned, an example of a wireless display services standard is the Miracast™ standard. Some variations of FIGS. 2A and 2B may be for Miracast™ R2 or other standards. The depicted actions may represent code (logic, instructions) stored in memory and executed by a processor. Of course, the actions depicted may be implemented via the indicated hardware (wires, cables, buffers, mediums, conductors, demux, mux, etc.) of the transmitter 202 and the receiver 204.

In the illustrated embodiment, a content server 106 provides content, and a license server 107 provides a license to use the content. The content may be video and/or audio. The transmitter 202 may receive the content. Again, in certain examples, FIGS. 2A and 2B may accommodate the Miracast™ R2 design for protected content playback. In the illustrated example, the transmitter 202, via a demux 208, splits the content into audio 210 and video 212. The transmitter 202 employs the key 214 (e.g., a DRM key) obtained in the license acquisition to decrypt the audio and video to give a decrypted audio stream 216 and a decrypted video stream 218.

In instances with a subtitle 210, the subtitle may be compressed to give a compressed subtitle 222 which may be subjected to a packetized elementary stream (PES) packetizer to give a subtitle PES 224. As for a UI 226 stream, the UI 226 may be compressed by the transmitter 202 to give a compressed UI 228 which may also be subjected to a PES packetizer to give a UI PES 230. Further, in certain embodiments, the audio stream 216 and the video stream 218 may each be sent through a PES packetizer to give a video PES packet and audio PES packet, respectively, and then encrypted (along with the subtitle PES 224) to give HDCP2 encrypted content 232, 234, and 236. No decoding is performed. Lastly, these streams 232, 234, 236 along with the UI PES 230 may be sent to a MPEG2-TS mux 238, and with the content ready for transfer, as indicated by reference numeral 240. Moreover, the aforementioned encryption may be performed with a key 242 (e.g., a HDCP key such as a HDCP2 key) obtained with an HDCP authorization negotiation between the transmitter 202 and the receiver 204.

The receiver 204 receives the content and divides, via a demux 244, the content into audio 246, video 248, and the subtitle 250 (if there is a subtitle). The streams may be decrypted via the key 242 to give decrypted audio 252, decrypted video 254, and the decrypted subtitle 256, all of which may be decoded into an audio decoded buffer 258, a video decoded buffer 260, and subtitle decoded buffer 262, respectively. Further, the receiver 204 via the demux 244, may split the UI 264 from the received content. The UI 264 along with the decoded video and decoded subtitle may be composed into a composed buffer 266 which may, along with the decoded audio, feed the display 268.

FIG. 3 is a system 300 providing for wireless display. The system 300 may be similar or identical to the system 200 of FIGS. 2A and 2B. A wireless display (e.g., Miracast™) connection may be established between a transmitter 302 (e.g., computing device) and a receiver 304. Indeed, embodiments accommodate wirelessly streaming audio/video from the transmitter 302 to the receiver 304 over a wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi Direct®) and a wireless display connection (e.g., a Miracast™ connection). The transmitter 302 and the receiver 304 may each be a computing device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, monitor, television, dongle, etc. The transmitter 302 has a processor 306 and memory 308 storing code 309 (instructions, logic) executable by the processor 306. The code 309 may be executable by the processor 306 to provide or the actions of the transmitter as discussed with respect to FIGS. 2A and 2B. Indeed, embodiments may provide for a direct streaming mode. In order to send the media content from the transmitter 302 in native encoding formats without decoding and re-encoding, the audio, video, and image content provided from the transmitter 302 may be sent as separate elementary streams. Certain examples may provide for the Miracast™ R2 design for protected content playback. Again, the actions of decoding, coding, and/or composing may be shifted from the transmitter to 302 to the receiver 304. The code 308 when executed by the processor 306 may provide for the transmitter to perform the transcription without decoding (or composing).

In the illustrated embodiment, the transmitter 302 includes a network interface 310 (e.g., network adapter) for a wireless connection. Similarly, the receiver 304 includes a network interface 312 (e.g., network adapter) for a wireless connection. Further, the receiver 304 has a processor 314 and memory 316 storing code 318 executable by the processor 314. The code 318 may provide for the aforementioned actions by the receiver discussed with respect to FIGS. 2A and 2B. Moreover, as indicated, the processors 306 and 314 may each be a microprocessor, hardware processor, CPU, GPU, and so on. The transmitter memory 308 and the receiver memory 316 may each include nonvolatile and volatile memory.

FIG. 4 is a method 400 for wireless display between a transmitter and a receiver, and with the transmitter receiving encrypted content (e.g., video) such as from a content server. The method includes the transmitter performing (block 402) license acquisition and DRM key extraction, and the transmitter performing (block 404) HDCP2 authentication. Indeed, the transmitter decrypts (block 406) the content using a DRM key, and encrypts (block 408) the content using an HDCP2 key such as a HDCP2 key. In certain embodiments, the transmitter performs this transcription without decoding, encoding, or composing, and sends the HDCP-encrypted content to the receiver over the wireless display connection.

FIG. 4A is a method 400A of wireless display between a transmitter and a receiver. At block 410, the method includes negotiating a wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi Direct®) between a transmitter and a receiver to wirelessly couple the transmitter and the receiver. At block 412, the method establishes a wireless display connection (e.g., Miracast™) between the transmitter and the receiver. At block 414, the transmitter receives a first encrypted content or a first-key encrypted content. The content may include video, audio, and/or a subtitle. At block 416, the transmitter processes the first encrypted content (e.g., DRM encrypted) into a second encrypted content (e.g., HDCP2 encrypted) or second-key encrypted content (e.g., with the second key as a HDCP2 key). This processing may be performed without decoding, encoding, or composing. Instead, the receiver may perform these actions. At block 418, the transmitter transfers the second encrypted content or second-key encrypted content over the wireless display connection to the receiver.

The method 400A may include the transmitter performing a license acquisition to obtain a first key (e.g., a DRM key), with the processing at block 416 includes decrypting the first encrypted content with the first key, and then encrypting the content with a second key (e.g., HDCP2 key) different from the first key to give the second encrypted content. The processing by the transmitter at block 416 may include dividing the first encrypted content into a first encrypted video and a first encrypted audio, decrypting the first encrypted video to decrypted video, and decrypting the first encrypted audio to decrypted audio. Decrypting the first encrypted video may include decrypting the first encrypted video with the first key, and decrypting the first encrypted audio may include decrypting the first encrypted audio with the first key. Moreover, the transmitter may packetize (e.g., via a PES packetizer) the decrypted video and the decrypted audio. In examples, the transmitter does not decode the decrypted video, and wherein the transmitter does not decode the decrypted audio.

Further, the transmitter processing at block 416 may include encrypting (e.g., via a second key such as a HDCP2 key) the decrypted video to a second encrypted video, encrypting (e.g., via the second key) the decrypted audio to a second encrypted audio, and combining the second encrypted video and the second encrypted audio to give the second encrypted content. Moreover, the processing may include compressing a UI stream and combining the compressed UI stream with the second encrypted video and the second encrypted audio to give the second encrypted content without composing. Further, a subtitle may also be included, as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 2A and 2B. In addition, the method 400A may include the actions of the receiver, as also discussed above with respect to FIGS. 2A and 26 . The operation may include wirelessly streaming video or audio, or both, from the transmitter to the receiver over the wireless connection and the wireless display connection.

As should be apparent for certain embodiments, the DRM encrypted content is not sent to receiver. Thus, the receiver is not required to support that particular DRM scheme, which could be difficult. Receivers may already generally support HDCP decryption. Therefore, in some embodiments, the system and operation may be beneficial with the transmitter to decrypt (DRM) and encrypt (HDCP).

FIG. 5 is a block diagram depicting an example of a tangible non-transitory, computer-readable medium 500 that can facilitate application registration and enablement in a wireless display environment, as discussed above. The computer-readable medium 400 may be accessed by a processor 402 over a computer interconnect 404. The processor 402 may be a processor (e.g., 306) of the computing device. The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium 400 may include executable instructions or code to direct the processor 402 to perform the operations of the techniques described herein.

The various software components discussed herein may be stored on the tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium 400, as indicated in FIG. 4 . For example, the code may direct the processor to negotiate a wireless connection between a transmitter and a receiver to wirelessly couple the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the transmitter may be the computing device, and establish a wireless display service connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The code may direct the processor to: receive a first encrypted content and divide the first encrypted content into a first encrypted video and a first encrypted audio; decrypt the first encrypted video to give decrypted video, and decrypt the first encrypted audio to give decrypted audio; encrypt the decrypted video to give a second encrypted video without decoding the decrypted video, and encrypt the decrypted audio to give a second encrypted audio without decoding the decrypted audio; combine the second encrypted video and the second encrypted audio into a second encrypted content; and transfer, via the wireless display service connection, the second encrypted content to the receiver.

It should be understood that any number of additional software components not shown in FIG. 4 may be included within the tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium 400, depending on the application or other considerations. Moreover, while one module 406 is depicted, additional modules directed to other code and actions may be stored on medium 400.

Some embodiments may be implemented in one or a combination of hardware, firmware, and software. Some embodiments may also be implemented as instructions stored on a machine-readable medium, which may be read and executed by a computing platform to perform the operations described herein. A machine-readable medium may include any mechanism for storing or transmitting information in a form readable by a machine, e.g., a computer. For example, a machine-readable medium may include read only memory (ROM); random access memory (RAM); magnetic disk storage media; optical storage media; flash memory devices; or electrical, optical, acoustical or other form of propagated signals, e.g., carrier waves, infrared signals, digital signals, or the interfaces that transmit and/or receive signals, among others.
